• Quote of the Day

  (Yes, I'm on a Moonbattery kick lately...)  The New York Times has their knickers in a twist over the conservative influence on the Texas history curriculum.  Gregory of Yardale notes:

  It is a telling difference between left and right that they get upset when we want history taught with a patriotic perspective. We get upset when they want deviant sex practices taught to middle-schoolers.

• Go. Read this.

  You're cheating yourself if you don't.

• Putting his money where his mouth is...

  A U.K. millionaire is selling his business and getting rid of his possessions.  He's going to help orphans in Uganda.  "I try to live my life in a way that pleases God," he said.  "I've never been more sure about anything in my life."

• David Vitter's Tele-town Hall

  David Vitter's tele-town hall just robocalled me, and of course, I'm sticking around to listen to the bitter end. What's really hilarious is that every second or third question, the person also tosses in a slam against Mary Landrieu, commenting on her unresponsiveness especially with regard to the health care bill. If she were up for re-election this year, she'd be toast.

• Deployment

  My son in law is leaving for Iraq today - please keep him and my daughter in your prayers.  And blogging will be light, because after we bring him to his base, I'll be hanging out with my daughter the rest of the day.
